NOT YET, NOT YET

The American ar"st James Whistler was never known for his modesty. Once he

was told that a shipment of blank canvases had been lost in the mail. The authori"es

asked Whistler if the canvases were of great value. He replied, “Not yet, not yet.”

Like a blank canvas, the value of our lives can be limitless if we allow God to

create his masterpiece in us. Yes, we have been made in the image of God. Allow God to

help you see your poten"al and to help others to see their poten"al also.

The helpless li/le baby Moses was cast into the waters of the Nile, yet he would

lead his people through the Red Sea.

The shepherd boy David was put out in a field, yet he would defeat a giant and

lead a na"on.

And li/le Jesus assisted his father in the carpenter’s shop, yet he would change a

na"on and the world by taking up the old rugged cross and dying and rising for the world.

Out poten"al with Christ is absolutely amazing!

Yours in Christ,

Steve

I STILL BELIEVE

It has been 4 years since Kimmie’s move in date to Heaven. I will remember

always her smile, her op"mism, her generosity with encouragement and

compliments and anything else she had, and her love of worship and

children. We s"ll mourn her absence but I praise God for the opportunity to

know Kimberly Bea@e! Please show your love and support by purchasing

advanced "ckets, a/ending this special movie showing, and sharing a dona"on

in memory of this very special young lady.

Blessings, Hardin

A Mercy Minute

Addic"on tears away health, hope, integrity, and

family un"l there is nothing leD but a resigna"on to

accept misery as our best existence. Jesus restores

all the above and always has more for those

seeking HIM daily in Chris"an Recovery. Our

speaker this week sharing her tes"mony of God’s

restora"ve grace is Dominique Nicole. Where

surrender began...so did the Dominique God has

planned for and prepared a way for all

along. Come feel a real spiritual embrace - at

Mercy Place!

Blessings, Hardin

1ST KIDS and Youth

Journeying to Camp

This coming Friday, March 10th, 4th-6th graders,

Dr. Hardin, Ms. Elizabeth and myself will make our way

to Camp Sumatanga for an overnight retreat called Exit

456. This will be our 8th year to take a group of

preteens to camp. Every year is full of laughter, hiking,

fellowship, bus rides, sharing meals, very li/le sleep or

bathing, worshiping together, listening to tes"mony,

bonding as a group, and most of all coming back new

people who are changed by being in the presence of

the Holy Spirit . If you have been to camp Sumatanga

you know what I am talking about!

Please pray for our group and others that will be

coming together this weekend.

Blessings, Dr. Amy
